self-centered
Focused on oneself
Self-centered describes someone excessively focused on their own needs, feelings, and interests at the expense of others.
A self-centered person steers conversations back to themselves and rarely considers how their actions affect people around them: He was too self-centered to notice she was upset.
The term is always critical, implying a lack of empathy or awareness.
